Consumer Description
Upon first cranking the vehicle, vehicle has excessive stuttering while accelerating after driving forward. Occurs after car is parked for 1 hour or more most often. Uphill, downhill, flat all the same. Acceleration causes stuttering for the first few minutes of operations. If you do not disable the start stop feature, prolonged stops at red lights cause the same issue and can lead to serious dangerous pretense for accidents while on the roadway. You have no ability to accelerate out of the way of harm until it smooths out. There is also an intermittent engine light that flashes until engine restart but does not record a DTC code. I suspect foul play in the ECU from VW. They are aware and tracking this issue but offer no solutions. Dealers will not service without DTC code and then itβs not repaired still. This is a severe issue for owners. Issue present for nearly a year now with no resolve.
